"Three Cups of Tea" is an amazing story about how an ordinary person, with nothing but determination, can change the world on his own. Greg Mortenson worked part-time as a nurse, slept in his car, and kept his few possessions in a storage locker. In memory of his deceased sister, he decided to conquer the most difficult mountain K2. This attempt almost cost him his life, if not for the help of local residents. Several days spent in a Pakistani village cut off from civilization shocked Greg so much that he decided to collect the necessary amount and return to Pakistan to build a school for village children. Today, Mortenson runs one of the most successful charities in the world; he has built 145 schools and several dozen women's and medical centers in the poorest villages of Pakistan and Afghanistan. The book was published in 48 countries and became a bestseller in each of them. Greg Mortenson himself was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize twice.
